We summarise below:

the types of information about you that we might process;

how and why we process it;

You can ask us to stop processing your information at any time by emailing us at data-protection@yoyowallet.com (although, as some types of information processing and sharing are essential to the provision of our services or certain aspects of those services, if you do ask us to stop processing your information we may not be able to provide some of the services or continue to provide the services in the same way). You can also stop us processing your information by closing your account or by emailing data-protection@yoyowallet.com. However, even if you do ask us to stop, we may have other lawful grounds for processing your information (for example, to comply with our statutory or regulatory duties or the orders of a court).

(c) to communicate with you about marketing or promotional campaigns or to send you our Insights (but only where you have told us you want to receive these communications and you have not told us to stop sending you messages).

4. How do we protect your information?

4.1 We hold personal data about you at our own premises and with the assistance of third-party service providers. We use third party service providers to perform a number of functions on our behalf including to host our platform, to send messaging on our behalf, to provide support services to you (including to provide translations to and from the English language) and to process transactions for the purchase of goods and services.

4.2 Your personal data may also be processed outside the European Economic Area by our staff or the staff of our third party service providers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of your support services. However, we will transfer your personal data only to a country that the European Commission has decided is a country which ensures an adequate level of protection or if we have otherwise provided for other appropriate safeguards to legitimise such data transfers.

4.3 Whenever we share your personal data with third parties, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected under the applicable data protection legislation. By sharing your personal data with us and interacting with the services, you consent to the storing, processing and/or transfer described in paragraphs 1 and 4.2 above.

4.4 If data is transferred to a country where appropriate safeguards need to be put in place, we would be happy to provide information pertaining to such safeguards on request. You can contact us for this information by emailing data-protection@yoyowallet.com.

4.6 We do not store customer card details, and apply information security practices to keep card data safe as it is in transit through our app.

(a) Whenever you enter your card information into our app, those details are encrypted and passed directly to our payment service providers ("PSP").

(b) Upon receiving your information, our PSP sends us a token (consisting of random letters and numbers) and small amounts of information about your payment card (the last four digits of the card number, the card type and the expiry date).

(c) The token (not your card details) is then used to effect payments for the products or services you purchase through our app.

(d) To ensure the required level of payment security, we will always use a PCIDSS compliant payment gateway to store, process and transmit your payment card data.

(e) We reserve the right to change our payments gateway at our sole discretion, provided any such payment gateway meets this security compliance level.

5. Who do we share your personal data with and why?

5.1 Transfers to other data controllers

(a) Where you have registered using, a merchant branded version of our app, we may share information about you, your account and how you use the service and the merchant branded version of our app with the relevant merchant.

(b) We might also share your information with a merchant to investigate and resolve support issues you experience or where you notify us of a complaint about a merchant or the goods or services you purchase from them.

(c) Where you have linked your bank account or debit or credit card to your account with us and given us consent to share your information, we will share information with your bank.

(d) Where we do share your information with the PSP, your bank or a merchant in this way, they will become a new data controller of your information and will contact you to let you know about this and how they use and protect your information.

(e) The information we share might include:

information that can be used to identify you;

information about how you transact using our app or services;

detailed transaction data;

your preferences (but only as they relate to that bank or merchant); and

where you have raised a support issue or notified us of a complaint about a merchant or the goods or services you purchase from them, the nature of the issue or complaint.

(f) As a fraud prevention measure, we send your full name and postcode to payment service providers when you link a debit or credit card to your account with us. We do this to ensure that your personal details match with the cardholder details and that you are the legitimate cardholder.

(g) Where you make payments using our services, we share your data with the PSP and they process your transactions. The PSP may share your information with third parties including regulators, your bank and the operators of the card schemes. Where the PSP shares your information with Mastercard, it will process your information under the Mastercard Binding Corporate Rules (as amended from time to time and currently available here: https://www.mastercard.co.uk/content/dam/mccom/global/documents/mastercard-bcrs-february-2017.pdf). You have the right to enforce these rules as a third party beneficiary.

5.2 Third party sourced data. We do not share personal data received from third party sources other than as stated in paragraph 1(c) above.

5.3 Transaction data. We share transaction information with the merchants who are receiving payment or providing rewards and offers on that transaction. We do this so that the merchant can reconcile their point of sale data with our data and to allow them to analyse transactions. We only send this information with your Anonymised Yoyo Wallet ID – never your information that could be used to identify you.

5.4 Anonymised Yoyo Wallet ID:

(a) We provide merchants with a unique Yoyo Wallet ID linked to you alongside the transaction data to allow the merchant to understand the payment, reward and offer behaviour of a particular customer or group of customers.

(b) The Yoyo Wallet ID may also be sent to third parties who provide payment services to our customers to enable them and us to match incoming funds to you and the transactions you initiate.

5.5 Anonymous purchasing profile. Retail brands that have products sold by merchants can obtain reports showing results from analysis conducted using anonymised and aggregated purchasing data to enable them to get a better understanding of the purchasing patterns of their products so they can design more effective promotions and campaigns. We do not give them access to the underlying transaction data or information that could be used to identify you individually.

5.6 Financial account information. This information is only held by the payment service provider. We do not hold any sensitive financial information about our customers.

5.7 Network, hardware and web. We will not share any of this type of data with third parties other than when required to comply or assist with court, orders, applicable law or regulatory or criminal enquiries.

5.8 Other uses. We may share your information with third parties, including law enforcement agencies for any of the following:

(a) to fulfil our obligations under our User Terms, or as required by applicable law or payment method rules;

(g) to respond to requests from courts, law enforcement agencies and other governmental or regulatory authorities or agencies; and

(h) to protect our rights, privacy and property, and that of our customers.

5.9 We may also share your information with:

(a) our service providers. Service providers help us with things like payment processing, website hosting, data analysis, information technology and related infrastructure, customer services, email delivery and anti-fraud services. These third parties are authorised to use your information only as necessary to provide their services to us and we take appropriate steps to ensure that third parties protect your information; and

(b) third parties in the event of any reorganisation, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings). We shall endeavour to ensure such third parties are bound by confidentiality obligations in relation to such information.

6. How long do we process your information for?

6.1 In most cases we will process your information only for as long as we need to in order to provide the services or until you close your account or ask us to stop processing your information.

6.2 You can ask us to stop processing your information or change the way in which we use it by:

6.3 There are some exceptions to this, however. We may have other lawful grounds for processing your information (for example, to comply with our statutory or regulatory duties or the orders of a court). For example, we might be required to retain your personal data for a longer period (usually up to six years after you close your account or tell us to stop but this may vary depending on the territory in which you use the service) in order to comply with applicable law, tax obligations or regulatory requirements. This might apply to information about the transactions you make, when and where you make transactions and the information we hold about you for fraud and other crime prevention purposes. If we do retain your information in this way, we will cease other forms of processing and we will continue to keep your information secure.
